Knowing how to choose the right target market is the beginning of result-oriented marketing. By reading this article you’ll be able to identify your target market and what they want so that you can position yourself to attract them First, what is a target market? The market segment that has the potential to elicit your most wanted response is your target market If you plan to succeed in network marketing you better know who these persons are—- including the things they are interested in, the needs they have and problems you can help them solve Why? Because a successful business comes from giving the right people what THEY want, not what you want to sell So who are these people? One example is worth more than a thousand explanations Assuming your business is weight-loss. Which target market comes to your mind? Did you say people who are overweight or obese? The truth is that overweight or obese people is not a target market, it’s a wide market for weight loss products.
